Ticket #23 (new defect)

Opened 6 years ago

Connecting/disconnecting video cameras while the application is open doesn't change the state of the UI

Reported by: jppavao Owned by:

Component: GUI Version: version 0.68

Description

The application correctly detects if video capture hardware is connected to the computer in order to setup its GUI accordingly. But this step is only performed the first time the avatar editor window is opened. If a camera is connected or disconnected afterwards, the interface isn't updated to reflect this change.

It looks like there isn't an easy way to do this. By the people that make QuickTime themselves:

We would be probably better off by simply listening for plug/unplug events on the FW and USB buses using I/O Kit (see  Accessing Hardware From Applications). Then, when a change notification arrives we would check whether a QT video input component could be opened or not in exactly the same way that we're already using now.
